The first impression you get when you arrive is wow due to the amazing pool. This was my first trip overseas with my boyfriend and we loved every moment. The rooms were good, not extremely modern but still comfortable. Maids were excellent, and the staff were always friendly and would greet us with a smile. The restaurants are more expensive... More

I had the pleasure of staying here in for a work trip. It is a great resort in my opinion, only approximately 5 minutes from Patong (costing approximately 300-400 baht in a TukTuk. The rooms themselves were very comfy, and clean! The resort has 3 pools, with swim up rooms to boot. A swim up bar is also in the... More

My wife and I spent a week at the Merlin Beach Resort at Tri-Trang Beach. We rated it as average and a breakdown of the positives and negatives are below: Positives: Location- Tri-Trang Beach is secluded, but only a couple of miles away from Patong Beach where all of the nightlife/bars/restaurants are. The resort has a free shuttle service to... More

The first impression of the hotel isn't great as there is a building site next door which on some days worked from 5:30am to 11:00pm and had I known this I would not have stayed here; thanks Virgin! The resort is about 3km from Patong and it does say this on its website but it fails to mention that the... More

Great resort out of Patong nice if you just want to relax and get away from the shopping. Too far to walk into town but free shuttle offered hourly or cheap taxi in & out. Great rooms nice food on the beach across from the resort. we also stayed in Patong at Patong Merlin and wish we spent more time... More

To be honest I was a little hesitant about staying here after reading previous reviews on here about MBR - as we had no choice to stay here as we were attending a family wedding being held at the resort. I'm not usually a fan of staying at the larger resorts as is the MBR. However, as luck would have... More

At $250 per night, I thought I was getting a luxurious stay at an elite resort at a bargain price... well, it looked luxurious from the pics anyway, even from other users. Wasn't I the fool!! (those snazzy hotels don't go for less than $700 in this part of the world afterall - lesson learnt). In any case, it was... More

Just back from a 2-week stay at MBR with my 9-year old son (my wife coulnd’t make it at the very last minute), overall impression is great. Hotel was in good condition, pools are nice and offer a wide range of options. We didn’t go for special room arrangements, yet everything was fine, and there was nothing to complain about... More

We spent 9 nights at the Merlin Beach from 14th Jan 2012. The first night was spent in room 4323, overlooking the carpark & road on one side and the pool on the other. A large development is currently under construction on the next block so I was very unimpressed when woken by the traffic & building noise. The staff... More
